Description

Join Catherine for a special ‘Winter Solstice’ 90-minute healing and restorative yoga practice to raise funds for Mummy’s Star. This is a charity very close to her heart, after they supported her sister when she was diagnosed with cancer while pregnant.

Restorative Yoga is a deeply calming and gentle practice suitable for all ages. All the postures are seated or lying down. Beginners are welcome!

Together, we will enjoy cultivating a soothing breath and quietening our busy mind whilst softening our muscles. It’s time to slow down, connect to our natural state of peace, be together as a community and light a candle for those who are suffering.

Arrive as you are and be open to where this experience may lead you. Use the time to fill your cup first so you can give your best self out to your loved ones this Christmas.

Suggested minimum donation of £10, but please give what you can to help a family this Christmas:

  • £10 buys a family premature baby clothes if baby arrives early unexpectedly
  • £20 trains two student midwives about potential cancerous symptoms to look out for in pregnant women
  • £30 pays for childcare whilst mum attends a chemotherapy session
  • £72 pays for an evening support session for mums to make sure they can access support when they need it most

Your donation will give you access to the live stream class plus the replay available for 7 days after the live event.

This is a charity event, so there are no refunds or transfers once a donation has been made. Thank you for your understanding.

All you will need is a cosy nest made up of cushions, warm blankets, pillows, cosy socks, jumper and an eye pillow if you have one. Here you can soften into your parasympathetic nervous system- this is the rest and digest state where deep healing can occur. You’ll experience true relaxation and your immune system will be boosted thanks to your blood pressure lowering, stress, tension and fatigue draining away, your circulation will be boosted and your mind will be calmed.

Catherine’s Story

In November 2014, Catherine’s middle sister Philippa was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma whilst pregnant with her third child Grace. Grace was born prematurely on 23 December 2014 for Philippa to begin her treatment after Christmas. Today, both Philippa and Grace are thriving and are looking forward to enjoying this yoga practice with the community.

At a time of such darkness and difficultly within her family’s personal life, Catherine began her own practice of restorative yoga which she now describes as her “Saving Grace”. Restorative yoga was a style Catherine hadn’t known before – all the postures are seated and lying down as well as supported with cosy props. It was a new level of relaxation and one that helped Catherine process all that she was going through. It was a place to simply be, to breathe and to have a space to feel her feelings rather than run away from them. From this place of true embodiment and understanding of the healing practice of yoga, Catherine now shares the teachings globally from her brand Yoga with Catherine.
